'Bring the Magic': Scotland Assistant Coach Ross Eyes World Cup Dream
Leanne Ross never played at a World Cup herself but believes Scotland's current squad has what it takes to get through the play-offs for Brazil 2027.

Scotland assistant coach Leanne Ross says she believes the current national team squad has the quality needed to navigate the play-offs for a place at the 2027 World Cup in Brazil.
Ross, who never competed at a World Cup during her own playing career, said she wants the squad to 'bring the magic' as they push to secure qualification for the tournament.
Scotland face a challenging path through the play-off stage, a route that has historically proven difficult for the national team as it seeks a first appearance at a major women's tournament in recent years.
Ross's comments reflect optimism within the Scottish coaching staff about the depth and quality of the current playing group, even as they prepare for what is expected to be a demanding set of fixtures.
The assistant coach's own experience of missing out on World Cup qualification as a player appears to inform her determination to help the current generation of players achieve what she could not.
Further details on Scotland's play-off opponents and fixture schedule were not specified, as the team continues its preparations for the qualification process.
